Published Apology Over Ciplak Case





 
Actually I have no mood talking about this subject anymore. However, I just want to close the subject herewith and recognise the action taken by The Borneo Post to publish an apology over the ciplak case that I shared here earlier on. Although the guilty party is the Supreme Chicken, The Borneo Post has acted professionally on the matter.
